Couple of questions

[Scouser]

I'm interested in bottom dwellers for my tank.

I have the Pets At Home fine grain gravel, I would call it sharp but then again I'm not too experienced.

The size of each grain is roughly 2mm, (shaped kinda like those Dungeons and Dragons dice lol)

So I was wondering if anyone has got experience with this gravel and bottom scooters lol

Any help will be appreciated

oh ok, how big is the tank, ive seen ppl keeping cory cats in that kind of sand aswell as some khuli loaches but their wiskers (barbells) will get damaged they need really fine substrate

I would go with dwarf or Pygmy corys

Would they be safe with the gravel I have?

I could reach in an grab a little bit for a better pic if itd help?

 

[Fishkeeper26]

IMO that gravel doesn't look very sharp. I think they'd be fine, another picture wouldn't hurt if you wanna be safe

 

[Scouser]

Don't know if it helps lol

 

[Fishkeeper26]

I wouldn't really call that sharp compared to flourite or other plant substrates. I think you would be ok with adding a small school

Awesome

But I'm gonna be adding tetra to bring the schools to at least 6

Would that put me at the stock limit without the Cory's?

 

[Fishkeeper26]

I think you would be fine with 6 dwarves

 

[Scouser]

I think you would be fine with 6 dwarves

Great

That's what I needed to hear lol.

Of course I'll keep an eye out for injuries and the such
